Reflective Journal Entry on First Opportunity Exam
1) Lecturer Rating: 5/5
I rate my lecturer a 5 out of 5. The lecturer demonstrated exceptional teaching skills, effectively engaging the class and making complex topics easier to understand. Their enthusiasm for the subject matter inspired me and my classmates to actively participate in discussions. Moreover, they were always available to clarify doubts, which fostered a supportive learning environment.
2) Exam Question Paper Rating: 2/5
I would rate the exam question paper as a 2, indicating that it was relatively easy. The topics covered were familiar because they were similar to what we practiced in class. However, I found the most challenging aspect of the exam was articulating my thoughts clearly and structuring my answers effectively, mainly due to forgetting some key details from my notes. On the other hand, the multiple-choice questions were straightforward and aligned well with my preparations.
3) Availability of Study Material: Yes
Yes, my lecturer provided ample material to help us prepare for the exam. This included a variety of class activities, practice quizzes, and detailed lecture notes. The revision sessions we had also effectively consolidated our understanding of the key concepts, allowing us to approach the exam with confidence.
4) Class Attendance: 80%
I would rate my class attendance at 80%. While I made a concerted effort to attend most classes, there were a few sessions I missed due to personal commitments. However, I ensured to stay updated by reviewing our lecture materials and notes regularly, which helped me keep up with the coursework.
In conclusion, this exam experience has highlighted the importance of consistent studying and active participation in class. I acknowledge that better preparation could have helped me avoid the mistakes I made during the exam. Moving forward, I will focus on reinforcing my understanding of the material and ensuring I can articulate my knowledge clearly under exam conditions.
